What used to work for me: a military deployment to a combat location. The environment is completely different and there is pressure to perform but that pressure is immediate and real opposed to self inflicted inefficiencies in the corporate world as a programmer. You want to graduate from a keyboard warrior to an actual people manager doing meaningful work that does it. But… you can only do that so many times. Eventually you will conquer those performance pressures as well and need something more. I used to dread boredom and the slow pace of other peoples inefficiencies but now I find comfort appreciating the relaxed life.
